∞ growing my responsibility to let go ∞
posted: Thu, Apr 27, 2006 08:16:43 AM

 

do i have any active resentments today?? well off the top of my head i would say no, but the day is still young! anyhow what i do feel is a growing sense of responsibility to the fellowship that gave me this new life. i can become more than i ever was and am starting to get a true feeling of belonging to something more. sure i have felt like a part of my home group, and my area, and possibly even my region. but here i am starting to see so much more abot myself and where i fit in this fellowship. anyhow got to run, slept too much this morning and now have to hit it -- perhaps i wil have a lengthy missive later.

well i am back at it now...
... thinking about yesterday‘s reading and today‘ i am wondering where exactly i am. this whole experience has made me look deep inside of myself and reach for tools that i did not know i had. there are a few tasks i need to accomplish yet today, some i do not mind like assisting another addict in making some decisons as to who will become members of the board and one which i do not have the courage to face right now. telling someone i know and love an item of news that is not good. i volunteered for the task because i have come to love this person and felt that i could be the one that best breaks the news, but having that choice does not make it any easier. so now i have said what i need to, the time to move forward has come and i must face my FEAR and find the courage to speak. such is the stuff that once made me use, but i know that it is a far better thing i do .....

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

THE TAO TEH KING, OR THE TAO AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 1

2) Therefore the sage puts his own person last, and yet it is found
in the foremost place; he treats his person as if it were foreign
to him, and yet that person is preserved. Is it not because he has
no personal and private ends, that therefore such ends are realised?
